With no breakthrough in resolving the quota issue coming, striking Indian doctors have called for “civil disobedience” by professionals to be observed today. “We are asking various groups such as traders, resident welfare associations, bank personnel and members of bar associations not to work today from 9 am to 12 noon”, Dr Vinod Patro, president of AIIMS Resident Doctors’ Association, said. The move is being supported by the Delhi Medical Association and the Indian Medical Association. The DMA would also organise a “dharna” at AIIMS today between 11 am and 5 am ( local time) to support the medicos’ agitation.

Patro said medicos were planning to organise a “Delhi Chalo” rally on May 28. Efforts were being made to garner support from all over the country for this rally. The rally is likely to be organised from Ramlila Maidan to Jantar Mantar. About the walk-in interviews in hospitals for appointment of resident doctors, he claimed no interviews were carried out in GTB and DDU hospitals while only three-four candidates appeared in interviews at Maulana Azad hospital.
